Egmont Books - Uki and the Balloon

DESCRIPTION: A 16-page board book based on one of the episodes from the Uki television series, aimed at toddlers and preschoolers aged between 2-4 years.

GOOD POINTS: This is a really great story book aimed at toddlers and pre-readers, that is taken from the exciting new Uki television series currently being shown as part of the 'Show Me Show Me' programme on CBeebies.

The book is a chunky square size, with glossy good quality board pages that are perfect for little hands to touch and turn over.

The book focuses on one of the episodes from the Uki Series and presents it in a short storybook fashion. It starts by introducing Uki (a cute yellow creature) and his friends Rabbit, Hedgehog, Turtle, Squirrel and Duck, and follows Uki as he tries to play a game of balloon with Hedgehog...with obvious consequences!

Each page is full of wonderfully eye-catching illustration (including the front cover), with bright colourful scenery, friendly expressionate characters, and accompanying text that relays the story in a simple way that young children can understand and interact with.

This is, in our opinion, a fun and appealing book perfect for bedtime reading!

Please also note that there is now an Uki iPhone app available, to enable parents with little Uki fans to access lots of educational Uki fun and games while they're on the go!
